Draw it, fill it
Sketch any shape, then tap inside it to fill it with color. Only that shape fills, even if a line doesn’t quite meet.
Coloring for grown-ups & drawing for kids
Doodlebee
Color to unwind. Detailed color-by-number pages reveal the original painting, shading and all, as you fill each number — from a 146-page coloring book with mandalas for calm minutes. For the kids: Color In with stars for neat coloring, draw any shape and tap to fill it, then watch it dance — plus storybooks read aloud and a music maker.

Draw it, fill it, watch it dance
Draw and fill, animate, color, build storybooks and make music — for kids and grown-ups. Everything anyone makes stays on the device.
What it does
Drawing and filling come first, then animating, coloring, storytelling and music — built so everyone always ends a session with something they made.
Watch it dance
Bring the character you drew to life — it can walk, run, dance, wave, jump, sit or fall asleep.
Color In
Kids color by hand inside the lines, pinch to zoom in on small details, and “Magic edges” helps the little ones. Neat-coloring stars build steady hands — and it never scolds.
Color by Number
Simple pages for kids, intricate relaxing pictures and mandalas for grown-ups. Tap the numbered areas with the matching color — finish the picture and the original painting is revealed exactly, shading and all.
Grown-up profiles
Grown-ups get their own profile, with a calm corner that opens on coloring and no math challenges.
Storybooks
Stories become illustrated storybooks starring a child's own drawings, with a soundtrack. "Read to me" reads every page aloud.
Music maker
Loops, beats and instruments — piano, drums, strings — plus rain, birds and the sea, with ready-made tunes to start from.
Drawing tools
Brushes, shapes, stickers, text and tap-to-fill, with undo, pinch-to-zoom and pan. Sized for small hands; works with Apple Pencil.
Gallery of keepsakes
Every creation is saved with a picture thumbnail. Brothers and sisters switch profiles with "Who's creating?"
Calm, safe screen time
No ads, no child accounts, no analytics. Daily time limits with "+15 minutes today", and a grown-ups-only area behind a parental gate.
Creating, not just consuming
Most apps aimed at children are built to hold attention. Doodlebee is built to spark it — every session ends with something a child actually made, and often something that moves.
- Sketch any shape and tap inside to fill it — only that shape fills, even if a line doesn’t quite meet.
- A finished drawing can walk, run, dance, wave, jump, sit or fall asleep.
- 146 pages to color — by hand or by number, for kids and for grown-ups.
- Draw, fill, animate, color, build storybooks and make music — one app, many ways to create.
- Apple Pencil support, sized for small hands.
- Drawings, storybooks and songs saved in a private gallery of keepsakes.
Who it's for
Doodlebee is for families who want a drawing and coloring app for kids that replaces passive scrolling — and for grown-ups who want a coloring book to unwind with. A calm, ad-free app for drawing, coloring and storytelling, without ever asking for an account.
Grown-ups who want to unwind
Relaxing pictures and mandalas to color in or color by number, with a profile of their own and a calm corner that opens on coloring.
Families leaving passive video
A creative alternative to endless watching — children make drawings, storybooks and music instead of just consuming them.
Privacy-minded parents
No accounts, no cloud uploads, no ads and no analytics. What a child makes stays on the device, and grown-ups decide what to share.
One app that grows
From a four-year-old's first scribble to a ten-year-old producing a soundtrack — ages 4 to 12 in one app, with three age bands that adjust as they grow.
Apple Pencil households
The canvas is sized for small hands from the very first scribble, and Apple Pencil works too.

How Doodlebee compares
Create, don't just play
Where many kids' apps center on exploring play worlds or mini-games, Doodlebee is built around making things — drawings that move, storybooks and music.
Their own drawing, brought to life
A child's own drawing can walk, run, dance or wave — not a ready-made character, but something they drew themselves, moving.
Made for the whole family
Kids and grown-ups in one app, with up to four family profiles and a single purchase that covers everyone.
Privacy by default
No ads, no child accounts and no analytics. Creations stay on the device, and a parental gate protects purchases and settings.
Frequently asked questions
Is it just for kids?
No. Kids draw, fill, animate and make stories; grown-ups get their own profile with a calm corner for coloring and color by number, and no math challenges.
How does the coloring work?
In Color In, kids color by hand inside the lines, with pinch-to-zoom for small details and stars for neat coloring. In Color by Number, you tap the numbered areas with the matching color, and finishing the picture reveals the original painting exactly, shading and all. There are 146 pages in all. On your own drawings, tap inside any shape to fill it.
Is it safe for young children?
Yes. There's no social sharing, no public gallery and no stranger interaction — a parental gate keeps purchases, sharing and settings out of little hands.
Does it need an account or the internet?
No. There's no sign-up, it works offline, and everything anyone creates stays on the device; grown-ups decide what gets shared. It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later, and the app is in English for now.
What's the story helper?
Creating is the point — drawing, filling, animating, coloring, storybooks and music come first. On supported devices, the unlock also adds an optional story helper: Sparky takes turns with a child on a story they started, and every reply is checked before a child sees it. See how on-device AI keeps that private.
